Tue, 11 Mar 2014 05:11:03 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2247464#comment-3211874The Titans have put themselves in a tough spot. Truth is, if they really wanted to get rid of CJ, they would have already done it. The fact is, looking closes at the situation, it makes absolutely ZERO sense to cut him. His money isn’t gonna prevent them from signing any FAs. Heck, they’re not gonna try and re-sign their best FA in Verner. And if you look at the FA RB class. CJ is the best. So you cut CJ to save 6m, and sign another one at half that. CJ still has 4m in dead money. So you only save a million bucks by cutting him. And you’d be doing so for an inferior player.

The fact remains, the Titans allowed this thing to fester in the media. And they basically allowed Titans fans and media to turn CJ into the scapegoat for the the situation they’re in as a franchise. And like I said, the smart move is keeping him. But if you do so, the fanbase will be furious because “cJ’s the reason we’re bad.”

The outluck doesn’t look good. They’re gonna have to get rid of CJ to prevent a. PR nightmare. Then you’re gonna have to either sign a lesser vet. Hope you hit a HR in the draft. Or, depend on Shonn Greene and Jackie Battle. But as stupid as Titans fans are. They’d be happier if Greene was the starter and got 600-700yds than they’d be if CJ came back and won the rushing title. They want CJ gone that bad. Its the VY thing all over again. Locker isn’t half as good as VY. But as long as VY is gone, they’re happy. The Titans may have the stupidest fanbase in the NFL.

He’s a speed back who played behind a dominant offensive line early in his career. When it came time to pay the guys in the trenches or the flash guy, they paid the flash guy, the rest is history.

If CJ cared about The Titans he’d take the pay cut and accept a positional role.. This is exactly what will happen when he’s released – so why not offer this to the organization that gave you all the money to begin with?

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 05:19:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2247464#comment-3208992Unfortunately, CJ was paid for what he did in the past – not the future. Which is usually how it goes. There isn’t really much incentive for a RB to put in that much effort, after his big contract. (pride, of course)

1. his body will break down more and a future of painkillers is eminent

2. He probably isn’t getting a 3rd contract (it won’t be for much, even if he does because of the mileage on his legs.

at least that is my thought on it

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 01:36:39 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2247464#comment-3208743Why would you admit to releasing him?

No one is going to trade anything now, unless said trade partner is in a situation to where it would need to get rid of a player desperately.

If I were to be anyone, I would just wait it out until his release, and then sign him.

I wouldn’t wish CJ on the Raiders, Redskins, or Browns. Make him learn the hard way by cutting him outright and make him play for the league minimum.

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:11:23 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2247464#comment-3208575It makes no sense for the Titans to offer a restructuring. If they sign him to new contract or extension then trade him, all guaranteed money on that new contract/extension immediately accelerates to this season’s cap. That doesn’t help them at all.

The only way he gets a new contract or extension is if the Titans intend to keep him past this season, which they obviously are not going to.

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:02:44 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2247464#comment-3208554Wonder if he would restructure as part of a deal to end up in a trade? That may allow for better cap issues and long term contract for some other team and be a more attractive trade. If not, seems like waiting for him to be released would be the thing to do for any of the other 31 teams.

As a Houston fan, it was so great to see him torture all those wonderful Tennesseeans. The Titans do so deserve him. Eddie George must roll his eyes just thinking about this waste.
